My Dilemma

[Rotorhead65]

Im going to do footholds this winter...but i started thinking if i do foot holds now with my stock pole will it be ok if i do a shortened pole later? Seems like it would through off my stance and wouldnt be comfy, Maybe im just thinking into to much.

Put the holds a littler further forward now then... My holds are way up compared to most and I love it.

I'd say do the pole first. My ski came with holds and a shortened pole and I wish my holds were a little more forward.

I'd ay it's a matter of opinion and what kind of riding you do. For flatwater freestyle I like the holds as far back as possible with a mega short pole. For everything else I don't like much shorter than -5 or so, and I don't care much about the holds as long as I can wedge my right foot in the front of one.

I ride flatwater too. I've ridden my ski with the pole anywhere from stock length to -5, with the footholds way back, and got used to it pretty easy in all scenarios. I'm only 5' 10" if that matters.
